Description

Developing modern, reactive user interfaces imposes a variety of challenging tasks. Naming some of those:

• reacting to events from different sources
• transforming and composing state
• handling state lifetime
• handling subscriptions

There are plenty of solutions available for managing these challenges on a global level (Akita, NgRx, NgXs, ...). None of them is dedicated to targeting the particular needs of the component level.

@rx-angular/state was specifically designed to give developers a tool for mastering component state without forcing them to use complex design patterns.

Its lightweight and intuitive API and the automatic subscription handling makes @rx-angular/state the perfect fit for handling state in any Angular component.

Using this library allows you to implement things like:

• merge global into local state
• shared state selections
• subscription-less interaction
• hook into imperative functions (e.g. component lifecycle or HostBindings)

with very little effort in any component.

Key features

• Slim and intuitive API
• Automated subscription handling
• Intuitive way for handling ViewModels
• Connect any Observable source to the state
• Partial state updates
• Reactive state selection
• Lazy state (no BehaviourSubject)
• Foundation for zone-less Angular applications

Install

npm install --save @rx-angular/state
# or
yarn add @rx-angular/state
